This has been floating around in the memory banks for a while, but it looks like they have the bugs ironed out and are actually going to produce it. Smart exploding bullets/grenades. Yeah. That is a good idea. Trust the Army to come up with another multi-word anacronym though

“Counter Defilade Target Engagement System” (CDTE). Come on fellas. You know the grunts will come up with something else. 'Punisher' is one I've heard. More stuff and video over at

Dum-dums?
I presume you already know that Dum Dum (or Domdom) is actually a town in Bengal where John Company had a major arsenal back in the day.

Dum dum = Hollow point. These are more of a smart(ish) grenade than a bullet.

Yeah Myn, I know what one is, I trying to figure out what the reference is, since there isn't a single mention of anything like that on the DW article. Or either of the vids
